Best Firefox 3.5 Themes and add-ons, Ever

Tell me if there are any missing from this list, in the comments AutoCopy We like it because we're bloggers, having to quote and copy links and code every day, but anyone who does a fair amount of copying to and from the web will dig AutoCopy. The basic use: It copies anyt text you select on the web as soon as you select it—no Ctrl+C necessary. For pasting into text forms, you simply hit the middle mouse button rather than Control+V. If that's all it did, hey, we'd recommend it to anyone who writes, copies, or pastes a lot, but we also have to point out that it fixes really long, wrap-broken URLs automatically. Three cheers for fewer pinky-finger stretches! Google Gears It's a bit more technical than most browser extensions, but for all intents and purposes, Gears is an easy-to-install add-on that unlocks an entirely new world to the internet. Primarily, it takes Google apps offline—Gmail, Google Reader, Docs, and Calendar—but a handful of other apps make good use of its mini-database powers, including Remember the Milk and PassPack. Still, given the kind of impressive implementation Offline Gmail received, we've only scratched the surface of the potential in them there gears.

YES! iPod touch Bluetooth Unlocked! in the OS 3.0 Update.

It was a real downer for iPod touch 2G owners to find out that the nike running accessory connects to the iPod touch via Bluetooth. "We cant use it for anything else!!" thats what I was thinking when I heard this.

Ever since then, iPod touch owners have been begging for the next OS update to have the Bluetooth enabled for all devices. Now one side note, all the cool stuff apple has done in the past 6 months, has been without Steve Jobs.

Hmm and ever since Bill Gates left Microsoft they trashed vista and came up with Windows 7, which is better than any OS out there. Is it that maybe when a CEO works for a company too long, that they maybe, perhaps, get OLD FASHOND. Take this for example, they put Safari 4 out to the public... IN BETA!!! Apple never does that! Unless steve has left. Now look at this. Uncovering a new functionality in the iTouch, now? Why not let the Bluetooth be free right off the bat?

These are images fresh from my iPod touch just after Upgrading! So this came with ALL iPods since day 1 but nobody got to use it till now? Apple might be coming up with something... (different then last week lol)

Logitech ClearChat™ "Stereo" and "Styles" Problem - Quiet/Dead Mic - How to fix

Brandon Davenport Jun 5, 2009 Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Us How to, Okay Geek

Hey brandoon111 here with another problem that needs fixing...

Ok, so time after time (like most of us) my friend complains about the quality of my mic (webcam) and not wanting to lug my studio condencer mic/stand in and out all the time, I decided to buy a Logitech ClearChat™ Headset for $37.87 (with tax(on sale)) after work.

When I got home I was full of jollidy and exited to open up the seemingly impossible to open packadge and plug this sucker in. I was supprized to find that there was no sound coming from my mic. Note: I am not computer illiterate. So I decided to check that my soundcard drivers were installed (having this week uninstalled Windows 7 beta and installed Windows 7 RC Because of the expiration period).  

So, I descovered that yes, Windows 7 had installed everything for me. I decided to give up, then i had a tickle in my throught, coughed and heard it faintly in the mic (having previusly checked "listen to device" to see if it was working) and it was a bad mic.

At that moment I was looking at the logitech website, unhappy to find everyone else was having the same problem. So today I ventured off (again) after work and decided to exchange it for yet another  headset, and yes, ANOTHER logitech head set.

To make a long story short, read paragraph 3 (grey writing) again. After that I was a bit mad but I noticed that the mic was a bit louder this time but not very clear. So here i will recomend instead of getting the logitech ClearChat™ Styles, Try the ClearChat™ Stereo.

The Fix

In Vista/7

1. Click on "Start -Control Panel -Hardware and Sound -(Under sound) Manage Audio Devices" 2. Select Recording 3. Select Microphone 4. Select Custom 5. Check "Mic Boost" 6. Hit "apply" 7. Go to Listen 8. Check "Listen to device" 9. Go to Levels 10. When you are done ajusting, uncheck "listen to device" and hit Apply

XP

Step 1: From the Start Menu, scroll to Control Panel and choose the Sound and Audio Devicessetting.

Step 2: Under the Volume tab, click theAdvanced button under the Device Volumesection.

Step 3: If you do not see the Advanced button under the Play Control section, as seen below,

click the Options menu and choose Advanced Options. The Advanced button will now be visible, as seen below.

Step 4: Click the Options menu again and chooseProperties.

Step 5: Under the Adjust Volume For section, choose Recording and click OK.

Step 6: Under Microphone, click the Advancedbutton.

Step 7: Under the Other Controls section, place a check in the box next to the Microphone +20 dB Boost option, then click the Close button.

You have now successfully boosted your microphone! Now that the boost is enabled, it is important to lower the Microphone Volume Slider, as seen on the Recording Control page in step 6. Excessive volume will distort your microphone quality.

The tweak

Go to the registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

Look for the following values:

MaxConnectionsPerServer MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server

If they don't exist, create them as DWORD values. Set these values to the number of simultaneous connections you want to allow. A good value is 50.

Make Firefox unbelievably faster in 2 min

Brandon Davenport Apr 11, 2009 Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Us How to, Okay Geek

Here’s something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up

1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return.

Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining

network.http.proxy.pipelining

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30.

This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select

New-> Integer.

Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″.

This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages MUCH faster now!
